Waterside property developer ISIS Waterside Regeneration has been granted planning permission for the regeneration of Brentford Lock West, TW8.
ISIS, which submitted an application to redevelop the site last November 2010, plans to turn the 6.4-hectare site into a residential, commercial and leisure use development.
The proposal includes the development of up to 520 residential homes, 35% of which will be three and four bedroom family houses and 20% affordable housing; 75,300 sq ft of commercial space; and £2m has been earmarked for investment into health and education facilities in the area.
The plans also include the refurbishment of the bus depot located on site and the creation of streets which will connect the development with the water as well as a new bridge linking the site to the parkland across the canal.
ISIS originally submitted a planning application in 2007, which failed on several counts including the scheme’s perceived threat to the vitality of the town centre.
The developer will now enter the detailed design stage of the planning process for Brentford Lock West and it is expected to start work on site autumn 2012.
Katie Sully, development director at ISIS, said: “We aim to connect this new neighbourhood with the waterside and strengthen the link between the canal and the town centre. The plans combine Brentford’s heritage with a modern range of homes, commercial spaces and services, which will provide the town with a competitive advantage for future generations.”
“We saw the potential of this site at the inception of ISIS back in 2002 and have been working hard in recent years to get the right mix of residential, commercial and leisure uses that will compliment and enhance the needs of the whole town. To receive planning consent is an important milestone in our long-term investment into the area.”
